Full-time
About Ornn Ornn is building the financial infrastructure for AI compute. Our price indices are live on Bloomberg Terminal. We structure and trade compute hedging instruments. And we're now building a platform that brings exchange-grade mechanics like order management, matching, scheduling, and settlement to how compute capacity gets reserved and allocated. We're a lean team in New York, backed by leading venture and strategic investors.
About the Role We're hiring a Fleet Operations Engineer to stand up, debug, and secure the systems that get GPUs into production.
What You'll Do Build and operate low-level systems infrastructure across Linux environments, from bare metal to VMs to orchestration. Provision and manage virtualized GPU compute (KVM/QEMU, GPU passthrough) alongside Kubernetes and Slurm workloads. Write production-grade Python daily and contribute to Rust services. Secure the node fleet with network segmentation, firewalls, access control, and secure-by-default configuration. Own problems end to end in a fast-paced environment with minimal hand-holding.
What We're Looking For
Requirements
- Strong low-level systems fundamentals, including OS internals, performance, and debugging.
- Excellent in Python.
- Deep familiarity with Linux environments.
- Effective communicator and independent problem solver. You will interface with customers, operators, and internal teams.
- A genuine interest in AI hardware: GPUs, accelerators, and the systems that feed them.
Nice-to-Haves
- Virtualization experience: KVM/QEMU, hypervisors, VM lifecycle management.
- Network security experience: hardening exposed nodes, VPNs and zero-trust access, firewalls, locking down cluster access.
Why This Role Matters At this stage, technical product quality and company credibility are tightly linked. The systems you build will shape how users experience the company and how fast the organization can operate.
Compensation and Benefits Benefits include competitive salary, meaningful equity, health coverage, free meals, and additional benefits. This is a leadership role with significant strategic impact and equity upside.
Equal Opportunity Statement Ornn is committed to building a diverse team. We evaluate candidates based on their ability to do the work, not on pedigree or background. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.
